Many of you know Tig… the black lab floating in a sea of SP Kennel Alaskan Huskys. She is the dog who is the most “neglected” here because she is very trainable to do… well, black lab stuff. (HERE IS A LINK to “Tig the Helper” Post.) Tig is the most cooperative dog when it comes to Halloween photos or Christmas greeting cards. She is also a Dog Walker’s dream and enjoys trying to keep up with the huskys – although she will never run 1,000 miles, she might ride on an ATV!
Tig turns 11 years old in August – a big age for a lab. As we know, neither Allen nor I are getting any younger either. We decided we all needed some youth, energy and ZIP! in our lives this summer, so we have welcomed ‘Ziptie’ to the family. She is a Labrador Retriever from Big Lake, Alaska.
Tig is certainly Ziptie’s mentor and is doing a fantastic job. But if I’m being honest, Mismo is her BFF. How can a young puppy resist that puffy tail and happy attitude? She can’t and Mismo plays a pretty great game of “Catch Me!”
How a black lab will ever catch one of the best Alaskan Husky lead dogs is beyond me…. but she tries!
Go Ziptie!
Welcome to the family, Ziptie! You are beautiful!
Awwwww! What a cute pup! Tiger will teach her well on how to couch potato, glare at the Huskies, and maybe get a table scrap or two?
Good dawgs!
Ziptie is such a cute puppy! I know Tig is a great mentor for Ziptie as she explores the world and meets all the Alaskan husky friends at the kennel. She definitely has a fantastic home with lots and lots of love! I am looking forward to hearing more about Ziptie in the future!
WOOF WOOF WOOF
What fun – and Mismo is making sure to stay in contact-distance with his playmate!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone at SP Kennel!
